No company’s history and growth are more closely aligned with the project management industry’s rise over the past two decades than Primavera Systems. Twenty-five years after resolving to bring elitist scheduling tools to the desktop trenches, the software vendor’s co-founders share their thoughts about the past, present and future of the profession.
This is the first in a series of interviews on the history and future of project management — as witnessed and envisioned by some of the profession’s influential figures, past and present.
Entrepreneurial engineers Joel Koppelman and Richard Faris founded project management software firm Primavera Systems in May of 1983 to bring project management software to the first generation of desktop computers. Today, the company has more than 7,600 customers worldwide, and has had a hand in projects valued collectively at more than $6 trillion. It is a fair statement that no company’s history and growth more closely mirrors that of the project management industry than Primavera.
As part of the Primavera’s 25th anniversary celebration, Koppelman and Faris spoke with Projects@Work about the past, present and future of the project management profession, commenting on the remarkable changes not only in the tools used, but also by the people using them.
